On Saturday we went out and headed to downtown and met up with HS team rider Doug Horton. The weather being cold and windy made it a little hard to get motivated, but we were able to get some riding in. After a few hours of riding and hanging out it became dark and all of us jumped in the car and drove back to New Castle. Thanks to Tony Neyer for having us at his house and being our tour guide. It was a short, but fun weekend.

Shown to the left is a photo I shot of HS videographer Chris Mahaffey filming HS team rider Scott Steele jumping a rail for an upcoming HS web video.
